Pretty good stuff. I was glad to give this an official test by the company and I was very pleased with it. While mass gains were not really present at all. I did manage to cut up significantly. In fact, on my initial switch from creatine mono to Clout I dropped nearly 8 pounds. However, after completing a full 7 weeks on this stuff, I was definately more notably ripped. Definition had improved significantly.
I think the area where this helps more is in the gym, not in bodily composition changes (though, that was nice, I think a lot of it was excess water loss). I definately felt more... prepared physically and mentally to go to the gym after banging this down just before my workout. Kind of gets you "in the mood" so to speak. If anything it takes away that feeling of not really wanting to go to the gym. The first few weeks the flush was rather interesting. Personally I liked it but others may not appreciate the tingly sensation. The good news is that definately indicates it kicks in around 10 minutes after ingestion, so no need for those 30-45 minutes before your workout drinks.
Aside from the preparedness, strength seemed to be a slight added benefit. While on Clout, though my size did not increase significantly, my workout weights did. I was able to consistently increase my weights.
So those are the pros and here are the cons:
It's pretty nasty. Stuff tastes rather horrendous. After about 2 weeks I started to have trouble getting it down. Solution is simple: put a decent size gulp of water in your mouth, pour half a scoop in and swallow it really quick, repeat with another half scoop. Then chse it with a bunch of water. Other than that no real drawbacks. No upset stomach, etc. I'm gonna only give it four stars however, because I really was hoping for more in the way of size progress. Good product though! |
